If someone gave you a map of the United States and the name of the states were blanked, could you name all the states without looking online or an atlas?

No, but I'd be in the upper 40's. All the north/south states and the smaller ones on the east coast would get me.

Re-read the question.... the question asks: "f someone gave you a map of the United States and the name of the states were blanked, could you name all the states without looking online or an atlas?" Not which states you have traveled to

Just about; but i always get around confused in that ohio- illinois area and the inverse of Mississippi is hard to remember too.

I could list them all though.

easy for AL...Florida took most of the coast it should have.,,and It would be Ohio-Indiana! ;)

I meant maybe. Sometimes the small states in the east trip me up. I can never see where the little lines are pointing to

I'd be OK with most of them. I will struggle with the non-states in the mid-west.

reply
Anna to Mark 2012/10/13 21:26:34

I'm not sure what you mean by non-states. There's Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Minnesota, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, we all know Texas, anyways: Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota.....

Ummm.... Since when are Mississippi and Alabama in the mid-west? Those are the South East

reply
Anna to Osk The... 2012/10/14 00:25:35

Okay, you're right, but why is Ohio considered a mid-west state and all these others then?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

reply
Osk The... to Anna 2012/10/14 02:36:26

No clue... lol I guess to many, anything passed PA, is considered Mid since that is no longer EST time zone

That just speaks wonders of our educational system, and not in a good way.

reply
Osk The... to Drebi 2012/09/16 13:26:48

Or they learned it when they were in school and forgot over the years

I suppose that's also a possibility.
